New: TripIt for iPhone

Written on April 14, 2009 at 9:03 am, by Will Aldrich

You asked for it, you got it! Today, we are pleased to announce the launch of one of the most-requested TripIt features- our brand new iPhone app. We know many of you have been waiting patiently for this app, so we decided to make it free, as a thank you for all of your support, and your great feedback about TripIt.

The iPhone app stores your upcoming TripIt itineraries, so you have instant access to your travel information whether you’re online, offline, or in airplane mode. Using the app, you can pull up websites for airlines, hotels, restaurants and much more, straight from your itinerary. You can also get maps and directions and direct dial phone numbers from your itinerary, just by tapping your finger. The app is available now in the iPhone and iTunes app stores.

We hope our app helps make travel even easier for you, and as always we look forward to hearing what you think.

Happy (mobile) travels!

Are there any plans to port this to the G1/Android platform? I've used TripIt to plan 4 trips now, including one major family vacation, and I don't know how I ever managed without it. I can get to it via the browser on my G1, but having a cellphone app like this would be even better.

I have found a serious flaw with your iTunes application. I accessed my account via my iPhone before leaving on a trip to Japan. I reviewed my trip details, all was fine. When I arrived in Japan (where of course I have no telephone account), I accessed my Tripit application to locate some hotel details. MY TRIPS WERE GONE, and the application of course could not update because I had no data connection! So when traveling to a location where one cannot access the internet, your app has "forgotten" all the details I was counting on for it to remember! Making the app useless. Thanks for nothing.

Yes - could you let us know if offline viewing is available for iPod Touch users? That's a must. Thanks!

Jeff Falkingham

Ok - BlackBerry por favor finish the link like WorldMate does and I'll be a happy FULL TIME trip it user!

Gerard

I have the same offline problem with my iPod touch as well.

Thierry Thelliez

Same problem here with an iPod Touch. Trip info are not available when off-line. That's major issue from my point of view.

Doug, I 100% agree with you. I got a blank screen as well.

doug rhoades

Would love to know how people got it to work offline......I never have seen anything other than a blank screen unless I am connected to the Internet

Tom

Can I place an order for an Android version? Can't wait for some consolidation in the mobile space...

James

I would really appreciate a Blackberry version of your software!

Alvin

installed, good, but if can sync previous trip data as well, then it is great.

Patrick

I have the same problem with my trip not appearing when I am offline today. When I looked at it last night I also noticed that the weather information was not there, even though it is on the regular site. I very much want this to work since it will be far better than carrying around a paper copy.

stephen hall

The app seems fine now. All my trip info is there even when I'm offline.

Trevor

Thanks to the iphone app I discovered TripIt. This is going to streamline my business travel so much this year. No more whipping out my laptop to get my travel info. Now I'm hoping that there will be a way to add customized fields to store conference schedules.

@Rusty and @stephen hall: we're happy to help you with the issues you guys are seeing. Please contact us at support@tripit.com and we'll follow up. Thanks!

I installed the app and viewed all my trip data on my ipod touch when I was online last night. Was very impressed with it. This morning I am offline and there is nothing there.

Rusty

Great idea but my login and PW from the regular site won't allow me to log in to Iphone version. Do I have to set up a different account for this to work?
